A fire at a popular Ormskirk bar this evening couldn't have come at a worse time...
With just three days until Motorfest, Dinky Dory on Church St. was looking forward to welcoming some of the thousands of visitors who'll throng the town centre.
But it looks like it may be closed after the fire which saw the bar evacuated along with the students who live above it.
Four appliances - including one from the Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service -attended the incident with around 50 people watching the fire fighters at work.
A cordon was put in place by ten pm - QLocal will be updating this exclusive report tomorrow.
